Report: LA Community College misspent $140 million

LOS ANGELES 
A state audit has found about $140 million in questionable spending by the Los Angeles Community College District.

The Los Angeles Times (

) says the audit released Wednesday questioned the use of construction bond money to pay for public relations, public art and building projects that were later abandoned.

The audit by state Controller John Chiang found shoddy management of the college system's nearly $6 billion program to rebuild its nine campuses.

District Chancellor Daniel LaVista disputes the findings and says they were based on flawed assumptions.

The district's board of trustees will meet next week to review the audit.
